Default New Question - Real Bob Feller Exhibit or no?

I just received what I thought was going to be a black & white exhibit card of Bob Feller to go along with my sepia version. When I received it though it was quite different, and I am not even sure its a real period card let alone a real exhibit card.

For starters, the card stock on the b&w version is much more flimsy, just a bit thicker than index card stock, and not even close to exhibit card stock. The stock is also much whiter, not creamy like with other exhibit cards.

This led me to think the b&w version might be a recent copy/reprint. Under magnification there is a very different printing pattern on the b&w version than on the sepia exhibit version (magnifying Feller's armpit/sleeve). I can verify that under black light the card stock does not fluoresce, though.

I am hoping an exhibit card expert can help me figure out what the b&w card is - a recent copy/reprint or something else?
